<Shadow started laughing. “Foolish child the staff was to help my mistress control her power.”>

The attacker and her cohort were taunting her again, but aside from snarling her lip, Varan willed herself to not take the bait. Ashen full bloods. “I don’t care.” She replied, opening and closing her fists against her icy claws.

<“You are blind by power; I do not need the staff to use shadow magic,” Luna said.>

“I don’t fear you or your magic,” The half-elf scoffed, standing her ground. A lifetime of dealing with purer than thou full-elves fueled her answer. She snorted at the bragging full blooded elf and her overinflated sense of self importance at a time like this. “I told you, if you and your wet nurse want to fight me, queue in line! First? The Giants!”

<“Erik is the gentlest person I have ever known. I don’t see the Giants as a threat and nether you.” Luna yelled.>

“What the fire is an Erik?” Varan shot back. “Are you witless? Ice Giants cooked and ate my family!” She steeled her eyes and maintained the same loud tone, slowing down her words for clarity.

“Giants EAT humans!” Varan demonstrated with her hands while making Nom-Nom noises.

“Giants EAT elves!” The half elf again demonstrated while making Nom-Nom noises.

“How is that not a threat? That's a huge threat, unless you want to end up stewed!” If the snobby elf wanted to be a midnight snack on a sandwich with a little salt so be it. Varan was a giant slayer. It wasn't time to play show me yours and I'll show you mine. It was time to slay giants.
